Share your journey to Bain.

I first discovered my passion for statistics and data analytics in high school. Since then, I knew I wanted that analytical way of thinking, and its real-world applications, to be a core part of my career. At Tufts, my studies in the Cognitive & Brain Science program deepened my understanding of how psychological principles like perception, cognitive bias, and risk aversion impact business and economics. Consulting felt like the perfect way to combine these two interests, allowing me to apply data-driven insights to solve complex, people-centered problems.

“Build Your Own Bain” means creating a thriving career on your own terms. How have you been able to “Build Your Own Bain?”

I’m excited by the many options that Bain supports over the long term, such as externships, experience shares, and business school. Everyone I speak with at Bain has followed a unique path, offering valuable perspectives that help me think about how I want to shape my own journey. Additionally, I get to “Build My Own Bain” every day by continuously shifting the focus of what I’m learning, allowing me to guide my professional development in a way that’s meaningful to me.

On my first case, I built a model for the global baked goods market and presented findings to international client teams at a 2-day workshop in Panama City!
